![]() Welcome to our 17th Annual
CoCA OPEN STUDIOS! We are once again excited to open our homes and studios to returning and new art patrons. CoCA represents over 100 local artists of all mediums celebrating their creative spirits. We meet monthly to share our art, experiences, and knowledge while socializing with like-minded people who mostly work in isolation. From the beginning of CoCA in 2010, our group desired to share their work with the public. Open Studios has grown from 21 artists in 6 locations to 55 artists in 32 locations. With so many vibrant studios to visit and artists to meet, we encourage visitors to plan for a whole weekend of art. Thank you for your continued interest in our coastside artists. —Patt Sheldon, Founding Artist List of Artists/Locations & Maps Visit our Contact page if you are interested in becoming a member, or joining our mailing list.
